Overview

El Silencio Lodge & Spa is a serene mountain eco-lodge floating within a valley of clouds near the tiny town of Bajos del Toro on a 500-acre private forest reserve in Costa Rica.

At El Silencio Lodge & Spa, silence is golden. With only the distant sounds of falling water and singing birds, this Lodge is the perfect spot to enjoy the peace and tranquility that pure, simple silence can bring. There are no televisions or computers, no lawn mowers or leaf blowers, just the whisper of cool crisp mountain air and natural unfettered waterfalls.

Deep in the heart of a Costa Rican valley near the tiny town of Bajos del Toro and set at the base of tree-lined canyon 5,000 feet above sea level, this wood, glass, and bamboo retreat blends seamlessly into its natural surroundings. The 16 cottage suites perch on pillars to respect the jungle below, while every abode is energy efficient. A love for nature is paramount and contagious. Won't it feel good to plant an avocado tree on the property before you leave, a small but meaningful gesture to help offset your carbon footprint during your stay?
